A Montbolo ceramic vista - a photo on Flickriver

            An initial 7 image stitch from a vintage 135mm f2.5  Pentax prime cropped down to closer to four (some due to an unfortunate vignette blur on the right foreground - lens flare issue or poor technique). I'd also bracketed to cover the snow and the foreground, with their different qualities and had intended to do an HDR, but after several attempts it just looked really bad. Pass around the cheap biscuits bad... In the end a paintbrush in the RAW was enough to bring up the foreground. I kept the blue haze because it was there and refrained from contrast and vibrance pimp-ups.

South of the Canigou (2,784m), just before the Museum of prehistory in Belesta and from the greater zone of the 'Montbolo ware' neolithic ceramics.

It can be seen that increased volume and resonance from amplifying pots could help dispersed populations where distances can offer eye contact without the chance of regular conversation.

The foreground is a stratification of clay and compacted sand - in effect, ill formed alluvials. The wind and rain attack the layers and sculpt. Might some of this clay have found its way into the local neolithic ceramics?
